The nomination was unveiled on a live broadcast from the Paris Nord after its organisers cancelled the live show due to the ‘volatility of world events.’ This is the first time they will be cancelling the ceremony since it launched in 1994.

Diamond Platinumz and Rema were the only African Acts awarded at the ceremony despite Burna Boy garnering two nominations for the Best Live and Best African Act categories. Diamond Platinumz won the Best African Act category.
